The shady grove puzzles are a pain in the ass. The gimmicks to the puzzles there are fairly easy to figure out and obvious, but the solving part on some of the later ones is obnoxious

Minor spoiler on a helpful tool for some of them

You might be thinking of the tree branch area near the beginning, otherwise pretty impressive if you're able to mentally combine some of those clues.

Now I'm stuck on the audio puzzles with the pitch changes and it's killing me, helps if you have good pitch which I don't.

Sigh, the latest patch makes it so I can't load the game. That will teach for for actually buying a game early. How do you see how many puzzles you have solved?

The load game screen tells you how many puzzles you solved.

And yeah, I've made extensive use of mspaint for some puzzles, huge bonus for PC over PS4 I would imagine.

Played a few more hours tonight, as I knock off the easier puzzles the game feels like it's getting exponentially harder. Super stuck in treetops area (don't click if you haven't been through most/all of this area):

About the "house" that you see right when you exit the starting area.

Thanks for keeping some of the posts with spoilers in them boys, much appreciated. I plan on grinding this weekend since I didn't get to play last night. Hopefully my brain is ready for the tests.

I haven't played enough to test this but curious on if any of you are experiencing this.

I did on my first day for a little bit about 2 hours in, took a break for awhile and felt a little better, I think I got used to whatever it was that caused it.

I tried just walking instead of sprinting and putting a little sticker in the middle of my screen, both things have eliminated it unless I just got used to the game.

I hate everything about the swamp, especially the variation on the initial mechanic in the yellow portion.

I'd have to go back to see what you're talking about but I like the tetris piece puzzles a lot generally.

When combined with other mechanics they can get pretty devilish.

Small spoiler you can probably click on if you've completed a lot of areas and been to the top of the mountain:

Spoiler:

22 hours, 360+40 puzzles, most areas done but still a lot of content remaining. I think I've done all tutorials so no mechanics should be new to me at this point, but there are still a couple puzzles I've seen that are like wtfbbq I don't feel like I know how to do this.
